Discuss Bozeman Park Fee Increases With Mayor Krauss – Mark Allen In the Morning
On today's show 12/6/11
This morning when Mayor Krauss comes in I would like your input to ask him about Bozeman Park user fee's being increased. Some groups would pay almost a 400% increase with the new rules. And the Park Superintendent does not need the commission approval to raise the fee's. What so you think?

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

Perhaps it would be interesting to open up a "universities" category (or subcategory of Organization) to list universities that teach lisp?

This is a good idea. Done.

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Golden Beach Location
90 Mile Beach House & Villas is the largest fully self-contained and serviced holiday accommodation in the heart of Golden Beach, a coastal town nestled on the shores of Ninety Mile Beach in Gippsland, Victoria. Clean, modern, quality 'walk in walk out' accommodation for a true holiday. We are a registered member, and ranked #1 on Trip Advisor. This is a full time accommodation property (as opposed to somebody renting out their holiday house) and that important difference will be immediately evident. You wont get that strange sense that you are in someone else's house when you find food in cupboards and clothes in wardrobes. You want a holiday - not a house sit!
Just park the car and walk to everything. The golden sands are a flat easy 200 metres stroll from the front door or relax on the full width front verandah listening to the waves!
Perfect for the individual rental or, with beds for 12 people - great for family, friends or group gatherings and an undercover outdoor entertaining area big enough for all (with a chiminea), offers privacy and space for fun times.
We offer 3 accommodation options to suit everyone and the price includes ALL LINEN & TOWELS.
3 bedroom Beach House, sleeps 6 - 2 night minimum
2 x Private Beach Villas - 1 night stays are welcome in our Villas during "off peak".
...ALL with reverse cycle cooling, fans and heating
"Off peak" Villa 2 - $125 p/n, Villa 1 - $145 p/n, Beach House - $180 p/n
We offer an online availability calendar, reservations and instant confirmations on our website.
Family owned and operated - we guarantee all our linen and towels are cleaned after EVERY stay.
The Beach House and Villas
All accommodation options have heating/cooling and all have fly doors and screens!!!
Whether you choose The Beach House or a Villa, each is fully self contained with modern fully equipped kitchens, gas cooking and hot water, TV & DVD (generous supply of movies, books and games), and ample outdoor entertaining areas with BBQs and outdoor furniture.
The Beach House has 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a queen bed, the second and third both have luxury doubles. (Max 6 guests).
Entertaining is easy in the fully equipped kitchen, including dishwasher and microwave and spacious dining area. The Beach House has a full laundry. You can watch all the activity in the village from the wide, full length front verandah or enjoy solitude on the rear deck.
Villa 1 is located at the end of the property and designed in the style of a hotel family suite. It is bright and light with high ceilings (Max 4 guests). The queen bed shares the open living area (like a large hotel room) and the kids or other adult guests have a separate bedroom with bunks, TV, games, etc. That way the kids can go to bed earlier at night or go and play during the day whilst parents can enjoy the spacious living area in peace! (Maximum of 4 guests).
A real feature of this villa is the large private undercover rear entertaining area with its own wood fire. Once a private wildlife reserve - you can still enjoy the many furry and feathered visitors right at your back door!
Villas 1 & 2 share a separate and detached laundry.
Villa 2 has a separate bedroom with a queen size bed and is ideal for couples. It is a wonderful, bright, sunny fully appointed and more private option fully detached from the balance of the property.
This villa is also purpose built for great accessability and has safety/mobility features for older guests or those with disabilities requiring level access.
Villas 1 & 2 share a separate and detached laundry.
Golden Beach - A beach, wildlife and lakes adventure!
The play ground, walking tracks and shops are 100 metres from the door. The beach isn't much further less than 200 metres and the golf course, bowls club and football oval are only a short stroll away on the newly made walking tracks..
Walk around Golden Beach (starting at your front door) and be among kangaroos, emus, echidnas, wombats and beautiful wildflowers whilst admiring the prolific bird life including crimson and eastern rosellas, yellow tailed black cockatoos, blue wrens, eastern spine bill and many other honeyeaters.
You can launch your boat 15 minutes away in McLennan Strait and begin your adventures on the Gippsland Lakes! McLennan Strait is a long channel of water that connects Lake Wellington to Lake Victoria. From your boat (or just enjoying a picnic on-shore) there are extensive wetlands on the northern side of the straits that are important bird habitats -so important that they are listed as Wetlands of International Importance.
Loch Sport is 20 minutes away by car and Sale (Gippsland\'s first city) is less than 30 minutes away. You can explore all the wonderful things that Gippsland has to offer and return to this hidden gem to enjoy the beach at the end of an adventurous day.

The striking orange and black sign quickly becomes visible while driving up St. Amable, Que.,'s main street as it starkly contrasts with the day's abundant snow fall. Cornering the intersection between the street and the small parking lot, a yellow mid-size John Deer loader and a pick-up truck rigged with a plow on the front bumper act as inanimate greeters.
If there's one way to celebrate becoming the new president of the Canadian Rental Association, travelling to New Orleans for Mardi Gras is not a bad option.

Oct. 5, 2015 - Capital Safety has launched its latest fall protection and safety innovation, the DBI-SALA ExoFit STRATA harness. This harness is the first full-body safety harness designed and tested with data-driven, third-party research, resulting in a harness that is more comfortable, cooler and lighter to wear. DBI-SALA ExoFit STRATA features a number of solutions-based elements including a first-of-its-kind LIFTech Load Distribution System. LIFTech takes the weight off a worker's shoulders and redistributes it down to the hips, reducing forces on the shoulders up to 85 percent when compared to leading harnesses. PolarMesh padding keeps users' backs cooler with greater air flow. A Revolver Vertical Torso Adjuster and Tri-Lock Revolver Connectors which offer added security around the legs, have both been added to help workers adjust their harness to the perfect fit. An EZ-Link Quick SRL Adapter helps workers efficiently attach their personal SRL—such as theDBI-SALA Nano-Lok SRL—reducing the time it takes to connect and disconnect by up to 80 percent. Tech-Lite Aluminum D-Rings allow for optimal reliability without adding significant weight to the harness."We work to maximize safety protection for at-height workers and provide solutions that complement the everyday work and demands of the job," says Tim Thompson, soft goods product manager at Capital Safety. "Not only do workers need to be protected in the event of a fall, but they also need to be effective and comfortable during long hours on the job in all environments, and under all conditions. ExoFit STRATA is a harness that supports wearers 100 percent of the time because it provides them with the mobility and comfort they need to function on the job."In July 2015, Capital Safety partnered with ergonomics specialists from the Sweere Center for Clinical Biomechanics and Applied Ergonomics at Northwestern Health Sciences University to create data-driven research to further validate the need for greater innovation in harness development. The research looked at key worker complaints such as the load on the back and shoulders, limited range of motion, and body temperature while wearing the harness. The results confirmed that each of the first-of-a-kind innovations incorporated into the ExoFit STRATA directly addressed these issues in a measureable way."When testing leading harnesses we were looking to find measureable solutions for key issues that have become barriers to worker safety," said Bradford C. Bennett, PhD, lead investigator of the study. "Is it comfortable enough to wear all day? Does it allow for ease of movement? Is it adjustable enough to allow for a proper fit? Is the worker comfortable even after taking it off? We quickly discovered that not all harnesses measure up to the task. ExoFit STRATA truly excelled at solving these issues that historically, have been inadequately addressed."For more informationwww.capitalsafety.comwww.exofitstrata.com

As I write this, I am recovering from taking a few days of vacation this past week and getting my fill of golf in. One of the highlights of the past week was participating in the Manitoba Local Golf tourney which was held at Southwood Golf and Country Club on August 20. While the tourney was quaint in size, it is still one of the tournaments I have the most fun at.
It is hard to believe once again that summer is in its twilight stages. Don't blink too quick or it will be gone completely. I have always found September to be a great time to start action plans and following through on the – wait for it – winter season.

In business, the goal is always to get out as much or more than you put in. After 35 years of involvement with the Canadian Rental Association, and many hundreds of hours volunteered as an executive at all levels, I can tell you that participation in your rental organization is an investment that pays off. My small store and my professional career would not be where they are today without the friends I made and the experiences I had inside the CRA. The benefits have been huge, and direct.
Happy spring to all! It certainly looks like spring has sprung in good ol' Winnipeg. Weather has been pretty darn fine – just praying we haven't peaked early. As I contemplated what to write for this column (valiantly fighting off writer's block), I settled for a bit of a potpourri of topics to touch on.
May 5, 2015 - The three-year term of your current National Supplier Director, Dean Nasato, is coming to an end. These types of positions demand tremendous dedication and therefore we would like to thank him for volunteering his time, and for a job well done!

These incidents account for about 17 per cent of the "lost time injuries" accepted by workers' compensation boards across Canada, according to the Association of Workers' Compensation Boards of Canada.
Our rental store profile this issue is a little different. Usually, Canadian Rental Service focuses on a going concern in the rental industry. This time, we are taking an in-depth look at the Absolute Group, a consortium of event and film location rental operations that ceased operations back in April.
I'm sure that most of us who have been in the workplace for some time have been trained in the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS), a system that has been alive and well in Canada since 1988.
We all have bad debts. Clients sometimes don't pay their bills. I practice extensively in the area of debt collection and have observed both good and bad practices of my clients.

Much is made of the difference in attitude toward jobs and careers that exists between Millennials (21- to 30-year-olds) and older groups in the workforce (Gen-Xers and Baby Boomers).
Quite often rental companies come to me with problems they are encountering with their suppliers. Through my practice, some common themes have emerged as to how and when rental companies get into trouble with their suppliers. In this article I share some of them with you, in the hopes that you can avoid the problems before they develop.
There is little agreement around the proper approach to a sustainable safety system. Each company seems to have its own ideas about how it should be managed. Some organizations prefer a behaviour-based system, others implement a systems approach. If your goal is to achieve a strong sustainable health and safety program, there is a need for safety leadership, not just safety management.

Is the Asia Hedge Fund Market Going Cloud? A Q&A with Serge Bukhar
Last year, Eze Castle Integration expanded their award winning Eze Private Cloud services to Asia. The Eze Private Cloud is used by more than 2,000 hedge fund professionals worldwide to simplify operations, minimise upfront capital costs and gain a highly resilient, enterprise-grade IT infrastructure on par with billion-dollar funds.
I recently sat down with Serge Bukhar, Executive Director of International Operations at Eze Castle Integration, to talk about the hedge fund market in Asia, and the attitude and adoption of cloud computing.
What is the current state of the hedge fund industry in Asia?
Singapore and Hong Kong are the hedge fund capitals in Asia. We have seen a contrast between the status of large and small hedge funds in Asia. Many larger funds are struggling, with some shutting down, while smaller funds are increasingly doing well and delivering positive results to their investors. Both groups, however, are looking for ways to increase efficiencies and reduce costs.

The Hedge Fund CFO's IT Checklist: Questions to ask about the Cloud
Here on the Hedge IT blog, we love to talk about the cloud. However, most of our discussions focus on the technology and operational considerations for investment firms. This week, we're taking a different approach and looking at the cloud from a business perspective. On Tuesday we explored the business case for moving to the cloud. Today, we're taking the CFO's point of view.
You're a hedge fund CFO. Your CTO has proposed moving the organization's IT infrastructure to the cloud using a third party service provider. What questions should you ask to gain a better understanding of the impact this change could have on your team and the firm at large?

While the technology benefits of moving to the cloud are well known, the business case for moving to the cloud is just as important. The hedge fund industry is increasingly moving towards cloud computing not only for the vast technology benefits, but also for the enhanced efficiencies, high quality technology environment, and numerous cost savings. Read on to learn the business case for adopting cloud computing technology at your firm.
Transferring from CapEx to OpEx
Today, many hedge funds are grappling with ways to achieve efficient operations while remaining as competitive as possible. Companies are examining the costs associated with their IT departments in order to determine the best way to make their technology more cost effective. For many firms, this means moving to the cloud. One of the major benefits of adopting cloud computing technology is the resulting movement from CapEx to OpEx.
This shift allows a decrease in capital expenditures (CapEx) and an increase in operational expenses (OpEx), providing potential tax benefits. The tax benefit is the result of OpEx allowing for the deduction of expenses in the current year and the cutting of tax liability applied to net income. Furthermore, there are few upfront capital expenditures associated with adopting a cloud model as there with building out in-house comm rooms and data centers. This is because cloud providers deploy a "pay-as-you-go" service model.

Microsoft Licensing Audits Ramping Up: Are you up to date?
This fall, Microsoft's new Windows 8 operating system captured the attention of many customers. Windows 8, however, isn't the only Microsoft change 2013 will bring. Microsoft is planning to provide stricter oversight of its auditing process by conducting up to 30,000 licensing audits on small to midsize companies by 2014. Here is an overview of why you should ensure that your software is up to date and what to expect when it comes to the Microsoft licensing audits.
What are the Microsoft Licensing Audits?
In 2013, Microsoft will conduct audits on customers' software usage. The audits will be mainly focused on mid-size companies with 500 - 2,000 computers. Many large companies have already put strict companywide licensing policies in place, but smaller firms typically have less formalized processes for ensuring all devices are licensed appropriately. As a result, Microsoft's auditing focus is shifting to smaller companies. These audits will ensure that clients' software is correctly licensed and paid for.

I'm Launching a Hedge Fund. What Tech Questions Do I Ask?
The latest HFR Global Hedge Fund Industry Report found that hedge fund assets increased by $60 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012, bringing total industry capital to a record $2.25 trillion. With hedge funds posting performance gains and the new year upon us, we expect to see new hedge fund launches take off.
Technology is just one of the many areas to consider when starting a hedge fund. To help jump start the process, below is a list of some commonly asked questions we receive.
Where do I start in creating a technology budget for my hedge fund?
It is important to note that whether a firm selects to go with an in-house IT solution or cloud computing there will be implications on technology budgeting. Once in-house versus cloud is evaluated, it is important to think about the workflows and systems you use to complete your work – be it email, reports, phones, market vendor applications, and/or risk systems. You can find a technology budgeting worksheet here to help with your planning.

What's Trendy in Technology? Predictions for 2013
It's that time of year again: time to take a look ahead and make predictions for the top technology trends of 2013. I don't think any of these trends will come as a surprise to you, but let's take a closer look.
I know - we had this topic on last year's list, too. But it's so important, it deserves another nod. Smartphones and tablets have invaded the enterprise world like never before, and we're seeing companies work more diligently to manage the use of these devices. Strategies such as Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) give firms the ability to allow employees to use personal devices for work purposes. While this provides employees with flexibility in terms of which devices they can use (and eliminates the need to carry more than one), it also highlights the importance of enhancing security measures to protect sensitive company information from getting into the wrong hands. Speaking of security…

The data system supporting President Barack Obama's healthcare reform has been tested and certified as secure for millions of Americans who will seek health coverage beginning on October 1, meeting a critical deadline for launching the program, the administration said on Wednesday.
Concerns over whether consumer information would be secure in time were raised last month, when a government report said it could take until September 30 to sign off on the system's data protections, leaving little room for error before Obamacare is due to go live.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, said on Wednesday that the federal data system used to determine eligibility for government subsidies for this new healthcare was ready to go.
The news came as a House of Representatives subcommittee on cybersecurity held a hearing to discuss the system, called the Hub. Republican lawmakers and panel witnesses raised questions about the ability to secure the system ahead of the Oct 1 launch.
IT security is a concern because the health exchanges that will sell insurance plans to individuals under the new program need various federal agencies to communicate on sensitive information about applicants, such as social security numbers, through the Hub.
Stephen Parente, a finance professor at the University of Minnesota who specializes in health insurance and health information technology, told the House hearing that the Hub is "the largest personal data integration government project in the history of the republic."
"Greater transparency is needed, as well as a frank acknowledgement that the (healthcare law's) posted deadlines should take second place to reasonable data concerns," Parente, a health policy adviser to Senator John McCain's failed 2008 presidential campaign, said in his testimony.
Last month, the HHS inspector general said in a report that missed deadlines this summer had pushed back the critical security testing. In particular, the date for CMS to certify that the Hub met requirements for information technology security was moved to September 30 from September 4.
Security requirements for the Hub, which is being built by an outside contractor, include access controls and authentication to help prevent hackers from viewing personal information such as tax records.
CMS, which will be overseeing the health exchanges, said on Wednesday in a statement that the IT-security authorization occurred on September 6.
"The completion of this testing confirms that the Hub complies with federal standards and that HHS and CMS have implemented the appropriate procedures and safeguards necessary for the Hub to operate securely on October 1," CMS said.
The inspector general's office has not independently verified CMS' progress since the office's August audit, Kay Daly, assistant inspector general in the inspector general's office, testified on Wednesday.
Representative Patrick Meehan, a Pennsylvania Republican who chairs the subcommittee, was dubious of the agency's ability to address all the security concerns.
"This is an agency who for three years failed to meet a single deadline," Meehan said during the hearing. "The word continues to be, 'Just trust us.'"

Not sure if this is the correct forum or not, but the ball of my foot keeps cracking. It's in the lower edge of the pad of the ball of my foot (did that make sense?). I wear dance paws in class, but it keeps cracking and it hurts. I have a think callous there, which I thought was a good thing for dancing, but I am wondering if it's too thick. Sometimes the stitching of the dance paw slides up and cuts across it.
Do any of you have this problem & what do you do about it?
I wonder if wearing shoes would help. This leads me to yet another problem. I am completely flat footed and feel, sometimes, that I need a little support...anyone else? What type of shoes do you wear for practice/ class? I have Hermes sandals and they help, but are so slick on a laminate wood floor and they won't stay tied. I think the support would also help me because I've had a broken knee and spinal injury. I have danced for years and have never had problems until recently.
Am I falling apart?
I just read over this message and it's kind of funny..c::

Re: foot problem- cracked ball (long)
You're human! :0)
My partner has cracked feet, too. Soothing is Burt's Bee's Hand Salve. Might be a fungus. Even if not, soak in warm water + white vinegar + few drops tea tree oil.
I'm flat footed, too. Honestly the most comfortable shoes for class or long periods of rehearsal/dancing are my sneaks!

Re: foot problem- cracked ball (long)
The thing that works is this stuff called Callux. I swear by it, keeps feet from cracking and also works on softening hands, elbows, etc.
I just got back from a weekend spa trip with my friends, and the mudbath, while very very strange, resulted in the smoothest feet I've had for years!

Re: foot problem- cracked ball (long)
FEET! How very important they are to us.
My feet also tend to crack and for me it seems to be a combination of callus build-up and dryness. I keep it under control by slathering them at bedtime with an exfoliating lotion. One that I like is "Eucerin PLUS Intensive Repair Hand Creme." This has alpha-hydroxy and glycerin in it and it comes in a tube. (There's also a "Eucerin Plus" lotion that comes in a bottle but it isn't the same formula as the stuff in the tube.)

Re: foot problem- cracked ball (long)
Dance sneakers or jazz shoes will help with the support issue and provide a better cushion for the balls of your feet than the dance paws do. If pain is involved you might want to check with your doctor to make sure this is not a fungal infectio or a plantar cyst. Calluses normally don't have a pain sensation.

Re: foot problem- cracked ball (long)
Years and years ago I had issues with a few spots on my feet cracking. Over and over. I tried bag balm, cocao butter with vitamin E, beeswax, burts bees, a prescription lotion, and just about everything else. Finally went to a podiatrist and it turned out that I had a fungus. (Shocked me totally as my feet did not look bad, the nails were nice, no other issues than the cracks.)
I did a course of Lamasil (the oral tablets, not the spray you buy OTC) and I have never had a problem since, and that was well over a decade ago.
So I would try some lotions/cremes first, but if you dont get results soon, I would suggest going to the doc.
Whenever I get a bout of dry feet now (usually just in the winter) I LOVE the SoBotanical Therapy Foot Creme (comes from a friend's shop and this stuff just rocks):
(And jazz sneakers can be great for support.)

I get that sometimes too and also inbetween a toe or two. I have found that Tea Tree oil is the best for me. I also use New Skin to close it. It burns a little but it really helps.

Re: foot problem- cracked ball (long)
On the subject of shoes that support... I agree with those who suggested jazz shoes - they do give good support. The one warning I would offer is that if you're doing any pivots on your feet, jazz shoes can grip the floor too much, which in turn can torque the knee and cause knee pain. I wore jazz sneakers once for a Mahmoud Reda workshop (which has lots of pivoting moves) and my knees were sore for over a week afterward.
Another type of shoe to consider is the Scottish ghillie (and imitators). If you need more support than the ghillie itself provides, you can easily insert an orthotic without anyone knowing. Here's a link to an imitator (real ghillies are black): Discount Dance Supply
Back when I was doing Scottish Highland dance, we used to replace the ties in our practice ghillies with narrow braid elastic (I think maybe 1/4 inch wide). We'd just lace 'em up with the elastic, leave enough extra elastic to wrap around our ankles or arches once or twice, and then sew the ends of the elastic together. (We had a second pair for competitions and performances, and we left the laces in those because in Scottish dance it's a Bad Thing to be "out of uniform".)
Today, I have a pair of tan shoes like the ones in the link above, and I replaced their laces with gold cord elastic.

Re: foot problem- cracked ball (long)
If you go the ghillies route, I find that an Irish style (which tends to be a bit sturdier/more snug than those I've seen used for Scottish dance) is amazing. Several of the style Pacelli makes have a padded insole as well (I LOVE my Gazelles and I hear the Eclipse shoes are even better).

I have found a good temporary fix (i.e. if you are performing and need quick relief) for small cracks in the feet is super glue. I get these a lot too and I am always glueing up my feet :)

Re: foot problem- cracked ball (long)
I never really thought of fungus since it is only craced in one spot. My nails are fine and my feet are not scaley, but after I try some of your remedies I may resort to the MD if I get no results.
I might try what Shira suggested about replacing the laces in the shoes with elastics and see if that would work with the hermes sandals. At least that would take some of the pressure off my ball until I can get some other shoes that would actually povide support.
Thanks for all your advice. Not that I want anyone else to have problems, but it makes me feel better to know that I am not the only one..g.:

Kernel Next: Interim Step for More Efficiency
Andrew Morton had a dream: a new kernel tree which would make kernel development easier to follow and more efficient. He looked for a maintainer and found one in Stephen Rothwell.
The new "Kernel Next" kernel tree is designed to be an intermediate step between Torvalds' and Morton' code. Torvalds' tree holds the next kernel due for release, which is always close to completion. The drivers and changes in the tree are definite fixtures for the next release. Morton's tree is completely different: the "-mm" tree contains developments regarded as too experimental that need testing. Linux Next aims to improve coordination between the two. New developments that successfully pass through Morton's tree will move on to the Next tree and from there to Torvalds.
The developers hope that the new system will improve the quality of code reaching Torvalds and thus facilitate work on the imminent kernel release. The Next tree will contain drivers which stand a very good chance of being accepted by Torvalds. The drivers will be optimized in the Next tree leaving just minor modifications to complete before acceptance for the imminent kernel version. This is a good thing for developers, and will make it easier to separate and differentiate between development stages. At the same time, subsystem maintainers will find it easier to coordinate their work.
The maintainer of the new tree is Stephen Rothwell, who is now looking for subsystem maintainers. He describes the new tree, and how he imagines future cooperation, on the Linux Kernel mailing list. The response from most of the developers who took part in the discussion was positive, although the announcement did fire a discussion on principles of kernel development.
